Qingcheng followed the guards of King Guhong to the second floor of Linxian Residence, and found that King Guhong had taken over the entire second floor. At this moment, there are no other guests here, only a dozen young and strong men, distributed in various positions on the second floor, closely watching the grass and trees on the second floor, it is not difficult to see that it should also be the guard of King Guhong.

As soon as Qingcheng came up, the dozen or so guards immediately cast their eyes on it, looking at Qingcheng vigilantly. And when they saw that it was Qingcheng and another companion, although there was no murderous aura, they were still vigilant. After all, Qingcheng's martial arts have already spread among the Wanli Army, and some people even say that even Xu Lin, the number one master of the Wanli Army, is not enough for him to see, so even if they know that Qingcheng is a guest of King Guhong, these guards will not relax their vigilance. After all, he is not Wan Lijun's own person.

While they looked at Qingcheng, Qingcheng was also carefully feeling their inner breath and so on, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because he found that these people were all good hands, at least at the same level as Mu Huang's servant, only slightly inferior to the wind, but it was already commendable.

"General, please come here."

The man who led Qingcheng up, after reaching the second floor, first greeted these guards, and then led him to the door of a private room, and signaled that King Guhong was inside. Qingcheng looked at the private room in front of him, and said that he would stay here for a while, and bother the man to go in and report.

King Guhong is very polite, Qingcheng thinks that people are under the eaves, it is naturally best not to annoy him, there are more rules, King Guhong will only be happy, but he will not be disgusted with Qingcheng's twisting.

The guard also agreed with Qingcheng's proposal and hurriedly went in to report. After a while, he came out and saluted Qingcheng and told him that he could go in.

Qingcheng tidied up his clothes again, took the gift he had prepared for King Guhong and walked in.

In the private room, King Guhong sat on the main seat, Xu Lin stood aside, and there was indeed no one else. And when King Guhong saw Qingcheng, he chuckled and quipped: "You kid, it's good to come in, and someone will inform you, I usually don't see you so well-behaved, today the king invites you, it's a private banquet, you know how to count the etiquette, hehe." ”

King Guhong blamed him, but Qingcheng could hear the satisfaction in his tone. He walked to the table, and after saluting King Guhong, he said respectfully: "The prince's status is noble, and Qingcheng does not dare to make a mistake." Whether it is a formal banquet or a private banquet, the number of etiquette that should be there is still no less. ”

"Xu Lin, take a look, our General Duan, it's really getting more and more rules, hehe."

Listening to King Guhong's words, Xu Lin nodded in agreement, then looked at Qingcheng fixedly, saw the object in his hand, and said with a chuckle: "What the prince said is very true, you see, General Duan also prepared a gift for you." ”

Seeing Xu Lin mention the objects in his hands, Qingcheng hurriedly stepped forward, mentioned Xu Lin's hands, and explained: "Thanks to the prince's weight, Qingcheng can have this opportunity to sit at the same table with the prince. ”

"Look at you, who can speak well, how can the king you send it dislike it, as long as it is your heart, this king will gladly accept it. Xu Lin, bring a piece to this king, this king wants to taste the flavor of this seaside city. ”

"Whoa."

Xu Lin held the pastries sent by Qingcheng in front of King Guhong, King Guhong glanced at it casually, took out one of them, took a bite, tasted it, and then said: "Well, it's really good, Qingcheng, you have a heart." ”

Listening to King Guhong's praise, Qingcheng hurriedly replied: "It's good if the prince likes it." Thanks to the prince's reward, Qingcheng can have the opportunity to show his ambitions, and he has long thought that he should repay the prince's great kindness, and it happens that the prince is interested today, Qingcheng thinks that he can't come empty-handed. But the high gate of the palace is everything, and Qingcheng really didn't think of anything new for a while, so he thought about adapting measures to local conditions, and chose some famous pastries on the Linhai City Market. ”

King Gu Hong put back the rest of the snacks in his hand, then nodded lightly and sighed, "It's good to have a heart." Qingcheng, you can rest assured, your ability is definitely not lacking in the king's Wanli army. This king knows what your ambitions are, you can rest assured, this king will give your full support. ”

King Guhong actually claimed that he would fully support Qingcheng's ambitions, after Qingcheng listened, he knew that no matter whether it was true or not, King Guhong had always spoken, and he couldn't help but say, so he knelt on one knee at the moment, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "Thanks to the love of the prince, Duan Qingcheng will die hard!" ”

Seeing Qingcheng like this, King Guhong nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said: "The family doesn't talk about the two families, get up quickly, they all say that it is a private banquet, what are you doing." Hehe, today, let's not talk about business, just talk about family life, relax with each other, don't be so restrained. Xu Lin, tell the food. ”

"Whoa."

King Guhong's sentence "One family doesn't speak two words", but Qingcheng was stunned, he really couldn't figure it out, when did the relationship between King Guhong and him become so close?

After letting Qingcheng take a seat, King Guhong took a sip of tea and asked casually: "During this time, can you still adapt to it in the Wanli army?" ”

"If you go back to the prince, thanks to the prince's care, everything is fine."

"Hmm", King Guhong put down the teacup, sighed after a while, and said: "Qingcheng, when you first arrived in Wanren City, this king did not treat you warmly, and there were more difficulties, can you complain about this king?" ”

Hearing King Guhong mention this, Qingcheng hurriedly replied: "The prince is really tormented by Qingcheng, everything is fine in Qingcheng in the Wanli army, these are all thanks to the prince's blessings, Qingcheng is too late to be grateful, how dare you complain about the prince." ”

King Guhong also guessed that Qingcheng would only say this, so he didn't react much, and continued: "You are not deeply involved in the world, and you still don't understand many things, even if you have a few words of complaint, this king can understand." However, I would like to take this opportunity today to share my heart with you. This king and Brother Feiyan have been friends for many years, cherish each other, and introduce each other as confidants. This time he was wronged, and the king also felt very sorry, but the power of heaven is unpredictable, the imperial power is irreversible, although the king is not angry, but he has not been able to do anything, I hope you can understand. ”

When did King Guhong become confidants with Duan Feiyan? Naturally, he said it to himself, and Qingcheng didn't know it, but how could he break it. And when he heard King Guhong talk about his own affairs, he had such an attitude, and when he first met, although he had some doubts in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Qingcheng is not a person who does not know things, Qingcheng understands these things." ”

"Well, it's good that you understand. Hey, I think at the beginning, what a heroic figure Brother Feiyan was, he fought half his life, served the country loyally, and his prestige in the army was unmatched, and he was really a model for my generation. But I don't want to end up like this, God really doesn't have long eyes, and Your Majesty doesn't open your eyes. ”

King Guhong actually spoke bluntly, saying that Emperor Hui did not open his eyes to Duan Feiyan's matter, and after Qingcheng heard it, he was both surprised and shocked, but he did not dare to say anything. Seeing that he was silent, King Guhong's eyebrows were inadvertently raised, and he sighed lightly.

"At that time, I was most worried about you, the child. After all, Brother Feiyan has been fighting for half his life, although the ending is a little regrettable, but after all, he has reached the grade where he should rest, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. But you are different, you are still young, if it is really because of His Majesty's words, your life will be ruined, then the king will feel sorry for you. ”

Hearing this, Qingcheng clasped his fists with both hands and saluted, and said: "The prince cares about it, and Qingcheng is terrified. ”

"But fortunately, you didn't disappoint this king, but you were quite strong, and you took on the important task of revitalizing the family by yourself, which is really good. When you first arrived that day, the king was overjoyed, and you could think of the king for the first time, and the king was very happy. But you don't know how many pairs of eyes in the court are staring at this king, staring at you, so this king can't be partial, let alone take care of it, he can only suppress you, and then secretly give you a chance to prove yourself with your own skills, so that it is the best for this king and for you. ”

King Guhong's words were true, Qingcheng understood in his heart, and hurriedly said: "What the prince said is very true, Qingcheng understands his identity and situation, and he is also afraid of causing trouble to the prince. However, Qingcheng was too worried, and the prince was thoughtful, and it was also to protect Qingcheng, and Qingcheng should be grateful. ”

"Hehe, it's good that you understand. Come on, the food is here, let's talk while eating. ”

While the two were talking, Xu Lin walked in and began to serve the food. Listening to the words of King Guhong, Qingcheng pondered for a while, picked up the wine pot and poured it for King Guhong, then poured a full glass for himself, then raised his glass with both hands, and said respectfully: "Thanks to the prince's weight, Qingcheng has today, with the prince's wine, Qingcheng toasts the prince with a glass." ”

"Okay, let's fill this cup."

With that, the two of them raised their heads and drank the wine. After putting down the wine glass, King Guhong began to beckon Qingcheng to eat. Qingcheng took the wine glass and thought secretly: It's really just a homely talk, it doesn't seem to be anything else, let alone Zhenhaihou, could it be my villain's heart?

The two chatted while eating, and King Guhong asked some more about Qingcheng's family, but he did not mention Zhenhaihou, which made Qingcheng a little ashamed.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, King Guhong glanced at Xu Lin, who understood and let the servants waiting in the private room go out. Qingcheng looked at this posture, raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought in his heart: Sure enough, something is wrong, it's time to get to the point.

Seeing that there were no outsiders present, King Guhong put down his chopsticks, looked at Qingcheng and said with a chuckle: "Qingcheng, I called you here today, first, to talk to you in my heart, so that you can be more down-to-earth, don't worry too much; Second, I also have a happy event to tell you. ”

Wedding?

As soon as he heard this, the monk of Qingcheng Zhanger was puzzled, but he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "If the prince has any orders, just show them." ”

"This king heard that you are not yet married, but I see that you have passed the year of the weak crown, the so-called 'self-cultivation, Qi family rule the country and level the world', self-cultivation, you have done very well, but if you want to govern the country and the world, you should first start a family and start a business."

King Guhong suddenly mentioned the matter of Qingcheng's marriage, and the latter couldn't help but be surprised, as if he didn't expect that King Guhong was looking for him to talk about it. However, he and Ouyang Lan already had a marriage contract, and if it weren't for the Duan family's accident, he would have reached the age of marriage. Although he was not married, Qingcheng had long regarded Ouyang Lan as the love of his life, so he did not intend to hide it.

However, King Guhong didn't seem to intend to give Qingcheng a chance to explain, so he continued to talk on his own. And after listening to what he said, Qingcheng was really shocked.

"Since ancient times, heroes and beauties, Qingcheng, you are a talent, and you have the ability to command millions of troops, and you are also the famous general of the Duan family in Qingyucheng, this matter must not be done casually, you should choose carefully. In fact, this king called you today, it is for this reason that this king has a beloved daughter, regardless of appearance or talent, she thinks she is one in a million. And she is just at the age of marriage, this king sees you two heroes and beauties, made in heaven, so, this king intends to recruit you as a son-in-law, hehe, you say, is it a great joy? ”
